RARRIr,s VOTER.

srouoYAH DISTINCT, Q. y, Jan. 10. 1881.
EDITOR CnIEFTAIN:-I have read
the communication Of "White Ar
row." of Cooweescoowee district,
in which he proposes to clear away
the dark cloud that rs over-hanging
the nominee of the Downing party,
In the outset he tells you that an
attempt had been made by "Rab-
bits Voter" "to mystify the
minds Of the people in regard to a
murder trial in the far-distant
past" "White Arrow" is mis-
taken, because il is not necessary
for the character of a man to be
published through the columns OF
the press before "the minds Of the
people will become mystified. "
They are now "mystifed" and tn C
mystery will not be cleared away
until next August when Mr.. Bunch
will be elected chief Of our country
Another mistake, I'm inclined TO
think was made through an in
sufficient knowledge of the law,
where he refers to the manner
in which jurors are drawn. This
law has been in force for some
years but was not in force when
the jury by which the murderer re-
fered to in my former communi-
cation was set at liberty. He also
says if this campaign is 20 be
carried on on the character of these
two men, he would begin by asking
why it is that so many murderers
who have been convicted by these
so-called "stocked courts" have
been set at liberty by the same
administration of which Rabbit
Bunch is one of the heads. The
reason is this: During the seven
years rule of the National party,
six years of the time the Downing
party had three members of the
FIVE which compose the executive
department of the Cherokee nation,
and as three is majority of five
it can easily be seen why it is
that so many murderers have
been set at liberty. Now Mr..
"White Arrow" if there is any
thing else you'd like to know,
'just squeal."
Now, men Of justice, men who
would have peace and good will
prevail-that life and property
might be secure-you are asked to
cast your votes for Bunch and
Clark next August.

A FEW days since a detachment
OF troops south of Arkansas City
found a party Of wood thieves and
on being ordered TO surrender the
latter refused TO do so. The ser
geant in charge of the troops
ordered that if they crossed a
certain line they should be shot
down. This had no effect and the
party escaped as the soldiers were
in. doubt about their right TO fire.
Since then the boomers have been
more venturesome and a large
number crossed the line and had
wagons loaded. When discovered
by the same party of soldiers the
sergeant ordered the wood thieves
to halt but was answered insolently
and no halt was made. Seeing
that prompt action was necessary
and having orders to allow no one
to pass out, he again ordered the
party to halt, notifying them at
the same time that if orders were
disobeyed they would be fred up
on. This order only had the
effect of having the outlaws level
their guns at a given order, and
the troops at once fired, and with
the loss of one Of their horses in
the leading team, and one man
shot through the hand. The out
laws surrendered and were brought
20 camp to await the action of the
U. S. commissioner. The parties
arrested numbered ten while the
detachment of troops consisted of
only FIVE.

Mr.. EDITOR: 1t seems that
j. NJ. Taylor's mind is on the
wings Of imagination. He says
that it was Rabbit who said pay
out that money on the last Chero-
kee per capita. II l am not mis-
taken the council and senate had
something to say about that. If
Mr.. Taylor contemplates to dance,
l would advise him TO wait until
next August. There are a great
many things 1 suppose Mr.. Bunch
imagines he is in favor of. His
present administration is enough
to convince me that he is unfit to
be principal chief. Mr.. Bunch is
an honest man l suppose. / think
just as much Of my fullblood peo-
pie as any fullblood does, because
/ was raised up with them. My
grand parents were fullbloods. 1t
takes education to run our little
government. Now, Mr.. Taylor, il
you are determined TO vote for Mr..
Bunch, don't kick so about it.
Some lawyers try to be popular,
like Mr.. Taylor, but only one in a
thousand can do it and not disgust
others first and themselves soon
after. Good sense is about forty
degrees ahead of poor humor.
There is nothing that | can think
Of just now SO slow to gain public
favor as good humor, at its best.

THE FREEDMEN AND THE
RABBIT.

sEQUoYAH, q. n, January. 10, lss7.
Mr.. EDIToR:-I belong to class
Of Cherokee citizens who are called
in the treaty, "freedmen." We
number nearly one thousand voters
and if we all vote for the same
candidate for chief next August,
that candidate will be elected,
sure and certain. Now who ought
we freedmen vote for, Rabbit
Bunch or Joel Mayes? confess /
was inclined to vote for Mr.. Bunch
till | read the letters of j. NJ. Tay-
lor, Jr., which have been pub
lished in your paper. Mr. Taylor
seems to be the champion Of Mr..
Bunch, and | suppose we can rely
on what he says for his favorite. /
see that Mr.. Taylor admits that
Rabbit Bunch is the same man
who went into the Cherokee senate
with armed men to dictate who
should go TO Washington as a dele
gate. | thought that was a joke
manufactured by"Young Voter"up
in Flint, till Mr.. Taylor admitted
1t, but the excuse Mr.. Taylor gives
is mighty poor. He says that Mr..
Bunch did that in the heat Of pas
sion. Well, all I've got to say is a
man who would do such a thing
as that in the heat Of passion, is
not the right kind Of a man to
elect to the office Of chief. II
there is no other reason but this,
Mr.. Bnnch ought to be showed
under" by 1900 majority next
August. We don't want any man
for chief who viii give way to his
passions like that. But Mr.. Taylor
has given me another reason why
will not vote for Bunch, and that
is that be says he was in favor OF
paying out the $500, 900 only to
Cherokee citizens of Cherokee
blood. ! believe / and every
Cherokee freedman citizen was

entitled to our share. / understand
that Joel Mayes was in favor Of
doing us justice, SO win vote for
him and / believe he will get all
the votes of the freedmen. When
the freedmen Of the Cherokee ma
tion come to know that Rabbit
BGnch tried to dictate to the Cher
okco senate with armed men and
that he is opposed to the freedmen
having their share of the public
money, | don't believe one single
one will vote for him. Now let
Mr.. Taylor, IT., offset our thou
sand votes if he can.
Three cheers Tor Joel Mayes, our
next chief, say /

IIrnRARY AND Mus1oA1..

Frank Leslie's Sunday Magazine
for February, opens with Mr.. Pow
ellis seventh leaf from his most in
teresting life dealing with Charles
Dickens socially, critically and
anecdotically. Several appropriate
illustrations accompany the arti-
Gle, including two portraits Of
Dickens ut different periods of his
life. An article, entitled "The
Charitable Side of New York life, :"
is well illustrated, and gives many
facts concerning the numerous
charities of the great city. "Indian
Babies" will be found very inter-
esting, as are also the pictures
that go with the text. Babies are
babies everywhere. The reader
may make an inexpensive trip to
the Islands of Jersey in the article
of that title, and the illustrations
show the chief points of interest
on the island, The new story,
ellis Banner over me-" begins to
be exciting already, and there are
many short articles and poems of
merit. The colorcd engraving
which accompanies the number is
a gem of art. The whole number
is as usual, full of fine pictures
and a collection of reading matter
suited to the varying tastes of
every member of the family.
The Capital Of the United States
has not a very ancient history,
but its early days are worth recall
ing when done as Interestingly as
w. Edgar McCann has done in
ethe February number of Frank
Leslies Popular Monthls. As il
in contrast we are then taken
from pictures of old Washington
to the "Domesday Book" that
monument OF the political sagacity
of William the Conqueror. DR..
Joseph Simmons, IN an article on
1.-THE Forehead, " combats som @
popular ideas, and shows that
geniu has often lurked under a
recedinc brow, and idiocy OF
crime under a well-developed one.
"a Dash Through the Green Isle, {"
by Noel Ruthven. is charmingly
illustrated, and told with life and
brightness. "0ld New Orleans"
is a well-told story Of what remains
of the city of other days. Lord
Lytton's plays" will interest all
who know Bulwer's "Lady OF
Lyons" " and Money" Chantilly
gives the reader a vivid picture
of the great gift Of the Due d'Au-
male to the French nation, who
have just exiled him. The great
scientific authority, Richard A.
Proctor, explains his theory Of the
"Origin of Comets and Meteors;"
and G. F. Holder tells of the mon
ster sea serpents that existed here
in the days of the Cretaceous Seas.
The stories-especially the con-
tinued novel, 1.-The Man Outside"
-"An Incident of the San Gabriel
Valley" and "Our Sweetheart, "
are all worth reading, and the il
lustrations unusually good.

MATTERS AT THE CAPITAL.
And voter for Judge Mayes


TAmrouAH, q, n, January. ~, 1857.
EDITOR OF INpIAN CHTEFTAIN:--
There is no astounding news from
this precinct. A revival was lately
attempted by the Methodist church
but the wicked part Of the town was
too wicked-no conversions, but
much refreshing for genuine be-
levers.
The Chatuauqua Literary and
Scientific Circle gave way to the"in-
temperance" boom during council
and the late bad weather has
chilled it still more. The Chero-
kee nation can do nothing better
for its defense than to make friends
of the most advanced minds in the
United States by encouraging edu-
cational and religious movements
in which those leading minds are
interested. But the last council
didn't see it. The "Band of Hope"
"A Sunday school for ali, especial
ly children, is prospering under
the auspices of the Women's
Christian Temperance Union, of
this place and the leadership of
the philanthropist and musician,
Prof. Dolgoriki.
AS for politics-not much good
yet. The platforms have not been
published though one Of them, it is
said, is ready for publication when
endorsed by both candidates Of
the party. The promulgation Of
the platforms will set the ball
rolling to some purpose, though
impatient spirits like some of your
correspondents can't "wait for the
wagon" "People who live in
glass houses should not throw
stones" and one should not 60 to
the ''far past" to unearth a calum-
ny against a political candidate,
unless he is prepared and able to
explain the recent charge against
himself Of giving four orders for
for the same school warrant. Mind
l do not allege anything, but one
who deals in reports should look
out for reports.
There is some talk and disgust,
about some of the "big" clerks OF
committees of the senate during
the late council-the much pay
they got for the little work they
did-but all the facts are not yet
known to me.
have investigated that news
paper tattle about Bunch's assault
upon the senate nearly a score Of
years since, and find that he and
some others only presented a peti-
ton. Nobody was hurt and no.
body threatened to be hurt, and all
the later growlings came from the
childish passions that follows a
scare.

ThYLoR OBSERVES.

CHELSEA, I. T., Jan ~, 1857.
EDITOR CHEFTAIN:--In answer
to "Observer," | would only say;
There are great many observers
just like him, only looking for a
chance to cheat the Cherokee Ind
ians out of the thirteen million
acres Of land patented to them by
the United States. In regard to
citizenship, the supreme court of
the United States has decided that
the Cherokee nation has the right
to say who her citizens shall be
and as to the Delawares, Shawnees
and freedmen, the Cherokees are
willing they should have all the
rights that are due them under the
articles Of agreement and the treaty
of 1866. Now in conclusion, Mr.
observer" you will find out by
next August's election that Hon.
Rabbit Bunch wont need any
hamstringing, but guess you will
be glad if he had been. So, just
observe the Rabbit run.
